🎮 What Is a Video Game Party?

A video game party is exactly what it sounds like — a party where video games are the main event. But we’re not talking about everyone huddling around one screen in a basement.

We’re talking about a fully-equipped game truck that pulls up to your home or venue, packed with:

  • The latest consoles (PS5, Xbox Series X, Nintendo Switch)
  • Dozens of multiplayer games for all ages
  • Up to 15 players gaming at the same time
  • LED lights, surround sound, and party vibes

It’s like bringing an entire arcade to your driveway — no setup, no mess, and no stress.
